Pia – This is the most difficult part. It is not the actual surfacing of old traumas, that is such a relief; it is facing and getting through the huge wall of defences that is awful. The defences are made up of feelings of being ill, fear, anger, pain and anything to keep you away from what, at the time when you were unable to face it, is the awful central fact. Once you are through it is easy and even enjoyable – I think, as that was my experience.
That white heat in your third chakra, can you let it rise and dance with it? Something that I found helpful was what I called the Dance of Agni (fire). Let the fire rise up on you and let it move your body and allow it to dance through you.
That isn’t a good description, but I hope you get the idea.
